bitch I'm taking calls.
You've got a long way to go no matter which way you go. If you backtrack you'll have to get back through Blighttown into the depths, then through the depths back into Undead Burg.
If you press on you have a lot more Blighttown to go through before you get to a water wheel shortcut back up to the Valley of the Drakes, and then finally back into Firelink shrine.

It's worth it I got my first when I went in undead parish. Balder gear is nice looking too.If he has my luck with drops it's best to not even try. I've never, ever, dropped a balder sword or a shield
If you've gone in via the valley of the drakes you can take the shortcut to darkroot basin then go through the darkroot garden to the parish in about 5 minutes.Is backtrack the only way? That seems far
I got to the Valley of the Drakes but I didn't go through it to Blighttown.
Well back track it is unless you get to the drake entrance instead.
I know it's worth it and that's what makes it painful. Damn it and the Kalameet tail...

Don't you have a spare weapon? I had the same thing happen to me on my 1st playthrough in the same place and I managed to use another weapon (I think it was +1 or +2 at the time). It makes the whole thing a lot harder but it's doable and saves you a trip back. Just remeber to buy the boxes next time you visit Andre.
I have some spares but they are much worse. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and work my way back with a spare.
Thanks for the help guys!

If you just run past everything and don't rest a bonfire, you can homebone back to the Blighttown bonfire.

I finally leveled up my END so I can wear the Black Iron set with the black knight great sword @ 50% wt and my goodness, does my character look freaking awesome. I can't wait to do some NG+ stuff with this setup.
Next I need to figure out a good equip set to I can effectively wear the wood grain ring.

This sounds fun! Is it good for PVE? I am not playing the game online due to GFWL fuckery.
More than effective you plow on through with ease.
If it is any help:
This is my current build. I've cleared most of the game with it, only a couple of things left to do in Oolacile.
This is where I plan to take it. Still not sure of what my 2nd weapon will be or if I'll keep the Havel ring or switch it out for something else, which will force me to tweak my armor loadout.
Edit: Dunno why it didn't save my spells... Currently I have Great Combustion and Power Within or any form of Fireball. I'll switch to Crystal Magic Weapon and Crystal Homing Soulmass later.
if there's anyone willing to help me with O&S on NG+ (to kill Smough first) I'm at level 90ish on Xbox 360. Usually on 10P-2A CST
When you're on I usually go to sleep, but can probably help during the weekends. I am 120, so I think it should be ok.
Pretty much nothing stopping your from incorporating miracles though like the build I posted earlier to give some variety.

Melee is still the best suitable gameplay in DS and yes miracles have great sinergy with melee and few use or long range for easy aggroing

Dont spoil yourself right now, continue playing =)
You didn't light the third or open the main door to the hall? Both would cut your travel time.
i did, but it took me a few hours and now i'm stuck on O&S. i wanted to take out Smough first so i could get Ornstein's armor later. it's not working out.
wait third bonfire??
Summon Solaire for help. The third bonfire is where Solaire flirts with you. It's in the first room to the left after the archers.
yeah, i got that one. i missed a bonfire on the way then. crap.
Right at the bottom of the spiral elevator is where it is.

Had to think about that. Second being Darkmoon Hall, right? I think a lot of people miss that one.
Really? It's the only bonfire you can't warp to in Anor londo I believe.
I... I did it AGAIN.
I beat the game last Sunday but craved more, so I decided to play my PS3 version for the trophies (and to compare online activity--PS3 is indeed WAY more active than PC). "OK, now I definitely know how far in Blighttown's bonfire is," I thought. I carefully made my way to the first rickety bridge... and then decided that going for the Iaito jump would probably be safer.
I didn't make it.
So I make my way back down, shield out this time, playing it safe. I drag the first fatty back to the entrance ladder and block his attack.
I get pushed right off the edge. 30k souls down the drain.
I didn't even care about the actual souls; I was pissed at myself for doing the same mistake again.

Well at least now you know that it's somewhere else you need to be. Did you actually hurt them at all?

He only gives you that if you have obtained the

By give I mean you pry it from his cold dead hands of course...
